What Is 'The Dog Bond'?

Jun 25 / Pat & Han
The Dog Bond is our passion. Passion led us here.
What we do is...dogs. Dogs being dogs. We're here for dogs.
This may sound simple and straightforward but...it's not. It's not, because, dogs live in the human world and that changes so much for dogs. That too seems obvious however I guess what we're talking about is the impact of human life upon dogs and what guardians can do to facilitate their dog simply being a dog.
It can be tough to think that the human way of life could have a 'less than desirous' impact upon a dog but......
Dogs have been with the human race for so long that everyone thinks they understand dogs. 'Everyone' loves their dog. However love is not enough. We've seen long time dog guardians, with the very best of intentions, still not quite 'get it'. Not that their dogs are leading 'bad lives'; perhaps just not very fulfilling lives, in dog terms.
Dogs are extremely adaptable and this wonderful ability can often work to their detriment. They don't 'complain' as much as a cat and are much more 'handy' than a horse! They can put up with so much less, but that's not how they prefer to live.
Dogs thrive upon interaction. They're social beings.
Of  course, because dogs just want to party and have fun, that sets them a bit at odds with people who want them to be quiet, calm and 'low key'/low maintenance.
Finding the right balance is the key to a thriving relationship, for both guardian and dog. We call it 'The Bubble'.

The nature of
'The Bubble'

'The Bubble' is an energetic connection wherein the flow of energy is reciprocal. 
Dogs can provide you with the information you need to help develop that thriving bond, All you have to do is 'read their energy'.
The photograph to the right is a good example of reciprocal energy. You can see the direction of the energy; the sharing. The body shapes compliment one another and the energy flow is evident. There's a sense of being 'present' together, in the same moment.
You might think, 'that's just a cuddle', however consider that this is an environment where any number of distractions contend for attention and the 'togetherness' becomes more significant.

Learning to work with 'The Bubble' may require you to learn some new ways of doing things. Although you'll have to take the lead in this, your job will involve being very aware of your dog and the responses you receive to changes in energy; not only your energy, his/her energy and the energy between you but also the energy of the environment. Everything is energy. Energy moves in waves and patterns. Dogs are pattern oriented. People, not so much  :)
This is what we do with our dogs. It's a very response driven way of being. It's our bond with our dogs!
